Omnupon has sleeping pills, analgesics, and antitussive properties.
Indications Omnophone
Applies to the following conditions:
- burns or injuries;
- myocardial infarction in acute form;
- tumors of a malignant nature;
- colic, developing inside the intestine, kidney or liver;
- periods after surgical procedures.
Release form
The release of the drug is realized in the form of 1% or 2% drug for injection by the subcutaneous method.
Pharmacodynamics
The drug is a narcotic analgesic, which contains the sum of alkaloid opium (50% morphine substance), because of which all its basic properties are due to the action of this element.
Omnupon has a pronounced antispasmodic and analgesic effect. But the anesthetic effect is weaker than that of morphine. Such an effect can be explained by the interaction of the drug with the opiate endings, as a result of which the transport of pain impulses is interrupted and the perception of pain sensations changes.
The components of drugs (drugs narcotics with papaverine) relieve smooth muscle spasms. Because of this, with such pains as colic inside the kidneys or liver, it is recommended to use this particular drug, since in this case it is more effective than morphine.
Pharmacokinetics
The morphine synthesis index with plasma protein is within 30-35%. Values of Cmax after intravenous injection are recorded after a lapse of 20 minutes, and with subcutaneous injection - after 50-90 minutes. The half-life is 2-3 hours. In the unchanged state or in the form of metabolic products excreted mainly through the kidneys.
A small part of codeine is synthesized with protein, and also passes the processes of hepatic metabolism (10% of the substance is converted into morphine). Excretion is through the kidneys, in the form of morphine codeine, as well as its metabolic products.
Pharmacokinetic characteristics of paraffin are similar to codeine.
Papaverin is involved in protein synthesis, is metabolized and excreted by the kidneys.
Noscapine penetrates the tissues at high speed. After the first 6 hours are excreted in the urine in an unchanged state (later it is displayed as a conjugate). In the future, his metabolic products for a long time (up to 1 month) are recorded in the urine.
Dosing and administration
The drug is administered subcutaneously. The size of portions is necessary, based on the patient's condition and the degree of pain.
For adults, it is used in a dosage of 1 ml; if required, this portion can be re-entered after 4 hours after the first. Maximum permissible dosages: 1-fold - 30 mg, daily - 0.1 g.
For children over 2 years of age, portions in the range of 1-7.5 mg are used, taking into account the degree of analgesia.

Overdose
Signs of poisoning: a decrease in blood pressure, stupor, suppression of respiratory processes, narrowing of the pupils and coma.
For therapy in these cases, an antagonist opioid ends - the substance naloxone - in a dose of 0.4-2 mg is administered. It allows you to restore breathing. Children are administered at a dosage of 0.01 mg / kg. It should be borne in mind that naloxone has a short-lived effect, so that the victim must also ensure the maintenance of ventilation of the lungs.
Interactions with other drugs
Combination with fentanyl or promedol leads to a summation of the therapeutic effect.
It is forbidden to use Omnopon with such narcotic analgesics as tramadol, butorphanol with buprenorphine, as well as nalbuphine, since this can lead to the appearance of withdrawal syndrome.
The drug should be used in reduced portions when combined with anesthetics, antidepressants, anxiolytics or hypnotics - because in these cases, respiratory depression and CNS function are observed.
